So true !
When you are drawing/painting, one of the great difficulties is to know how to stop at the right moment.

Romain painted these jackets too?

I'm not sure if he did the painting, but I think so.
But these are his illustrations.

I think it's very well done, but maybe it's too realistic.
I like the naivety of the real drawings on original jackets.

I recognized his paintings of course but never seen him painting on leather. He made very nice leather patches with some of his most emblematic pin-ups, but I don't know if the whole serie was hand-painted.

Sometimes, I find it better to improve a little original designs of ww2 jackets, more wearable nowadays. the difficult task is to stay close from original but with some light improvments...not easy to do.

Here's a rare opportunity to compare relative sizes of the B-17 and Short Stirling bombers.

This Stirling, a visitor to Bassingbourn, is parked up in front of the hangar line next to a 401st Sqdn 91st BGH "Mickey Ship" or radar equiped "Pathfinder" B-17. Note the radome in place of a ball turret and all black triangle on the tail. The triangle was the symbol for the 1st Combat Wing and would normally carry the letters A for 91st, W for 398th & L for 381st Bomb Groups.

I've obviously created a monster with this new thread...

To all the guys who have posted fantastic photos sorry if I haven't given any more likes, my finger has cramp and possibly arthritis from clicking the like button.

This may be to random. I took this sitting on hillside at the Mach loop North Wales.

Not random, because it's your personal work.
